why do they keep using captchas when they so obviously discriminate against visually handicapped but people who can still easily use computers? Don't programmers know there are laws against that? I know they don't care but to choose as it as a means of proof of humanity - something that's illegal in many countries - seems so backward of technology.

#373Why do they keep using captchas when this test of humanity has such a major flaw and there are so many people with this degree of visual disability who can still easily use computers? Don't programmers know there are laws against that? I know they don't care but to choose it as a means of proof of humanity - a test considered illegal in many countries - seems truly backward of technology.

And there are many stories like this. When CAPTCHA started to be widespread, a lot of my blind friends (including me) suddenly were blocked from using parts of the Internet. We had to find sighted help to solve just a captcha, while everything else basically worked to be done independently. You can not imagine how much sorrow and self-pity CAPTCHAs have generated. I hope the person(s) who willingly allowed this trend…
reCAPTCHA (Google's CAPTCHA) has been accessible to the blind for nearly the entirety of its existence if not the entirety outright.
Oh, a Google believer. So tell me, how is a deaf-blind person going to solve an audio captcha? Is it OK for you to claim that a deaf-blind person ius not a human? I guess so, because google is the bomb, right?
And we dont even have to go down the deaf-blind road. I have excellent hearing, but have failed at solving audio captchas in the past. Also, please remember that there might also be a language barrier. Give an english audio captcha to a german housewive, and learn how discrimination works.

I guess you could script bots using an emulator but there are probably easier targets for carders. For IP reputation, looking for IPs associated with proxies and also data center IPs though blacklisting all the big cloud providers will grab innocent users. EG: US military runs outbound proxies on azure. This all for new traffic. Users that are known to be non fraudulent have a unique persistent cookie that allows the…
we could have been good adversaries ;]
